    Like I thought. You have your opinions, but nothing to back them up. That is one of the things I fail to understand about fundamentalists, the unwillingness to be open to learning more about God and Jesus. Are you afraid to really follow him and find out you may have to give up some long held ideas you love. It happened to me that was as I learned to open myself up to following him more in my daily walk. The Holy Spirit slowly showed me some beliefs that I had to give up and replace with new ones about Jesus. If you are not willing to be led by him and to be guided along new paths then I really feel sorry for you.

    What a ridiculous comeback. Again, use these superior skills the holy spirit gave you and tell me what is "liberal" about my interpretation.

    So give me proofs that your view is correct? I have given you proofs. I suppose you simply refuse to accept scriptures you do not like. But don't expect me to back off telling you the truth about Christ. Are you really afraid to really turn your life over to him and follow him where ever he leads?

    Have a blessed evening.

    No, you haven't. You gave me a ROFL, and called it liberal. Prove to me that us conservatives would be stoning that woman. You are the one putting people in boxes. Why should anyone here believe you do anything here but attempt to flame ?

    Simply, you, through your own posts do not believe the examples I have shown you from scripture.

    Now, tell me what you believe and support it through scripture showing they agree with what Christ taught and lived.

    Are you really afraid to give all to Christ?

    No, take back what you said about consevatives stoning the woman, so that I can be a little more convinced you wish to be in a sincere, rational discussion. If you are not willing to do that, there can be no more discourse.

    Anyway, I fully expect the liberals to have all the same success in ending nuclear proliferation, that they have had in ending poverty, hunger, and racism.

    Sorry, you continually dodge questions, refuse to discuss and hide behind opinion and attempted insult.

    Also, it is getting late here and I am going to bed.

    There is no question the people in the crowd who were going to stone the woman were conservative. Educate yourself on the culture of that time and on the pharisees and there is no other conclusion to come to.

    Jesus, by not joining the crowd, by bending down and writing in the sand and saying that anyone without sin cast the first stone ... now that was very radical and liberal for his day.

    Did you ever wonder why it was just the woman who they were going to stone and not the man also ... as was prescribed by their law? Ah, but that question simply opens a new line of dodging to you.


    Good night. Sleep well.

    Actually, I have told you before, when you bring up trhis episode, that Jesus was stopping a lynch mob. This is not a capital punishment issue, it is an issue of people acting like they were bigger than the law. If the man was there, like he was supposed to have been, I don't think Christ would have stopped it. But you dishonestly leave that out. You also very dishonestly say I will dodge this, when I have brought it up to you, several times.That is why there is no rational discussion with you, and I am fine with whatever fantasy you habe concerning my walk with Christ. You are a liar. Nothing more. Engaging you is an idiotic thing to do.

    I forgot about Dagwood.

    Kinda gives a new slant to the next time he lectures us about honesty.

    Is it a liberal position or a conservative position that there is one, and only one, way to God?

    I believe Jesus would be anti-abortion, anti-homosexual, but with a concern for the homosexual person. I also think Jesus would be pro-welfare. Everyone who is liberal is not pro-abortion or pro-homosexual.

    It is obvious that the parable of the talents points to the fact that although the Gentiles are coming into the kingdom long after the Jew, they are of equal value in God's eyes. It has nothing to do with paying wages to workers today.

    To attempt to say the parable of the talents is about workers wagers is another example of a very liberal interpretation of scripture. I believe it also is a pointed lesson in showing we are to use that which God has given us for him and his glory.

    Thank you for answering. I disagree that he would be for the current welfare system.

    Really ? I disagree, again. The parable's basic theme is be wise with your gifts. And the fact that the guy who turned his 1 talent into 10 was given the biggest praise.

    I got my parables confused. You are probably correct. I was thinking about the many who paid all his workers the same regardless of how long they worked.
